Cut the cucumbers into discs or sandwich slices or you can leave them whole if they are small enough. Put all ingredients in the jar except water and then add the cucumbers – they should be packed in tight. Fill the jar to the very top with distilled or spring water and put the lid on very tightly. Shake the jar for 1-2 minutes and then put in the refrigerator for 24 hours. After 24 hours shake again and turn upside down for another 24 hours (make sure the lid is on very tight to avoid leaking.) After the 2nd 24 hours you can taste your creation and enjoy! They will last for at least 3 months refrigerated.
NOTE: Try pickling other vegetables such as green tomatoes, string beans, peppers, cabbage, cauliflower and carrots. You can experiment with different seasonings (a little bit goes a long way). I like my pickles hot so I add ½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes or a piece of a habanero pepper from my garden.
